Description

Essential Flamenco Guitar Volume 1 is an in-depth introduction to flamenco guitar playing, designed for complete beginners and advanced players alike. Juan Martin, a celebrated virtuoso flamenco guitarist and teacher, shares his expertise in this first book of a three-volume series.

The method begins with demonstrations of the basic building blocks of flamenco guitar technique, using authentic flamenco music to illustrate these techniques. The fundamental palos of Solea and Alegrias are then presented, emphasizing basic rhythms and providing examples of falsetas - melodic passages. The book also shows how to apply these techniques when collaborating with a dancer and singer.

With over 3.5 combined hours of online video content included, this book provides invaluable insight into the essential sounds, rhythms, and emotional power of true flamenco guitar. Music is transcribed in standard notation and tablature (cifra), making it easy to follow along with the accompanying video explanations.
